The Chicago Bulls have decided to poke fun at Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James’ fondness for Taco Tuesdays.

During the pre-game introductions of the Bulls’ home game against the Lakers at the United Center on Tuesday, a man dressed in a taco costume was seen gyrating close to the “The King”.

Accompanied by the team’s mascot Bennie The Bull – who was also dancing and wearing a Mexican sombrero at the time – the dancing taco tried his hardest to elicit a response from James.

But LeBron would have none of the shenanigans as he ignored the dancing taco and proceeded with his pre-game handshakes with JaVale McGee and Danny Green.

James’ “Taco Tuesdays” segment has been popular on his Instagram stories in the offseason – particularly when he invited new teammate Anthony Davis to his house.

James famously tried to trademark  “Taco Tuesdays” under his company LBJ Trademarks LLC in August, but his appeal was denied.
